How about using an open topper for tree lopping?
General consensus is that it would be required to be licensed as an HGV for such use, not a PCV. In addition, the complexities around tree ownership and preservation orders means it is now a task that really needs to be undertaken by the highway authority, not a bus operator.

I saw something on Facebook, apparently the Streetdecks were being battered by the trees due to the design, so they had to stop using them on the 14 14A
Street Decks are some 6" taller than E400s hence a different profile for the overhanging trees.
Streetdeck = 4.395m = 14ft 5in E400 = 4.2m = 13ft 11ins
